SCHEDULE
Page High School follows a schedule which allows students to take six credits and a directed study each year.  With teacher/counselor recommendation and course availability, students may take an additional class for a total of seven credits per year.

SCHOOL SCHEDULING POLICY
Students are expected to take the classes for which they have registered.  Changes in schedules will be considered only under special circumstances.   All students requesting a class change must fill out the Class Change Request Form and obtain the permission of a parent, teachers, a counselor, and an administrator.  Students will not be allowed to enter full-year courses at the end of the first semester unless they are making up deficiencies.  Students who drop a course after the third week of the semester may receive a zero for that class in that semester.

COURSES
All courses listed in the Program of Study require a sufficient number of student registrants in order to be offered during the year.  If there is not sufficient interest in a particular course, it may not be provided during the upcoming year. 

The course descriptions on the following pages are arranged by departments.  Many of the classes have recommendations that are listed prior to the course description.

 Courses are offered at the following levels at Page High School:

1. Advanced Placement (A.P.) – designed to prepare a student to earn college credit through the successful completion of the A.P. Test in that subject area.

2. Honors – a challenging pace designed for the student who has displayed a record of academic success.  Students enrolled in Honors courses must complete the Honors Portfolio in order receive Honors credit (this is required by the State of Tennessee).

3. College Preparatory – all courses are considered college preparatory unless specifically labeled otherwise.

4. Resource – open only to students who have been placed in the course by IEP-team approval.

DIRECTED STUDY
Directed Study is an integral part of the Page High School schedule.  It meets daily and is designed to provide opportunity for students to meet current course needs, remediate skills, engage in enrichment activities and participate in student mentoring.  Students who have not passed the Tennessee Competency Exams or Gateway Tests will be placed in classes designed to provide extra help in those areas.  Students who have maintained a passing grade in all subjects the previous semester and have passed the required graduation tests will be allowed to take selected courses during the directed study period dependant upon the availability of appropriate courses.
